What You'll Learn
Opening the JPEG in Paint 3D
Opening a JPEG image in Paint 3D is the first step to resizing it. The Paint 3D app can be opened using the Taskbar search. Once the app is open, the image can be opened by clicking on the "Menu" button on the top left corner and then selecting "Save as" on the next screen. The image file can then be chosen from its location.
If you want to save yourself a few steps, you can open the image with the right mouse button and select "Edit with Paint 3D" from the context menu that appears. This will open the image directly in Paint 3D.
Another way to open the image in Paint 3D is to first open the File Explorer by selecting "Menu" and then navigating to the image location. Once you've found the image, simply click "Open", and the image will appear on the Paint 3D canvas.
It is also possible to open the image in Paint 3D by navigating to its location, right-clicking on the image, and selecting "Edit with Paint 3D" before opening the Paint 3D app.

Specifying the new dimensions
In the Canvas menu, you will see a new window on the right with the "Resize image with canvas" option. Make sure this option is checked to avoid any unwanted cropping when you resize the image.
Now, you can specify your desired image dimensions. You can choose to modify either the width or the height, and the other dimension will automatically adjust if the "Lock aspect ratio" option is checked. Enter the corresponding numbers for your desired width or height, and hit Enter.
If you want more control over the resizing process, you can uncheck the "Lock aspect ratio" option. This will allow you to set the height and width separately. You can enter the maximum height or width in the respective boxes, and the image will resize accordingly.
Keep in mind that when resizing, increasing the size of a low-resolution image may result in poor image quality or pixelation.

Saving the resized image
Once you have resized your image in Paint 3D, you can save it by clicking on the "Menu" button and selecting "Save". Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S to save your edited photo.
If you want to save a copy of the file, you need to use the "File > Save as" option. Here, you can save the resized image as a PNG file, which is ideal if you plan to use it in a template, as it preserves the table structure. You can also save the file as a JPEG.
If you are using Paint 3D on Windows, you can right-click on the image and select "Save as" from the menu. Choose "Image" as the file format, select a location to save the file, and then click the "Save" button.
If you are resizing the image to fit a specific space, such as an email signature, you may need to experiment with different sizes. For example, if you want your image to be no larger than 100 pixels in width and 95 pixels in height, you can enter these dimensions in the "Width" and "Height" boxes in Paint 3D. If the height becomes too large, you can adjust the width until you reach your desired size.
